I took Ricky and Rocco to the vet yesterday for a well kitty visit and first shots. Mr. Rocco (grey) weighed in at a beefy 1 lb 10 oz and was eligible for a vaccine. Little Mr. Ricky weighs 1 lb 1oz  (so proud he finally made it over the 1 lb mark!!) and the vet said she wants to give him...

awwww! cuteness!

Good job mom and babies! They are so sweet! Today is the first day for my two boys not getting KMR in their wet food, so we'll see how they do with that. Eating from a dish is a great accomplishment, but sooooo messy! My carpet now has kitten prints all over it :) One thing I learned the hard...

Thank you both so much for the responses. I had a friend visiting last night who is pretty smart about animals, and he sort of talked me down from my stress about Ricky. He said basically the same that you both said, Ricky IS progressing, just at a slower rate than Rocco. And he also said I...

So, my two boys, Ricky and Rocco, are around 6 weeks old and doing well after a very rough 5th week. The thing is that they are significantly different in size and development (like litter box, eating out of a bowl, coordination), and I am starting to worry that Ricky (orange baby) my have...

Thanks Anne. Happily, I can report that both kittens had bowel movements yesterday! So funny to be excited about it. haha Yes, the vet did instruct me on giving the enemas. She said for such small kittens warm water is enough, but that if I still had no results I should use a little KY jelly...

Beautiful babies, and mama too!

Okay, so I have had to give enemas to my two 5 wk old boys for the last couple days, which is fine. They have sort of taken turns one feeling good, the other bad, and reverse. Very frustrating! So, today has been a good day, both energetic and hungry!! But no poos on their own. I gave each an...

Thanks everybody! It's funny about kittens... how one day they are so great and the next you can think they are dying. I actually just got off the phone with the vet, because Ricky had another rough 24 hrs (of course 2 hrs after I put the call in and was waiting for the return call, he seems to...

Well, Ricky, Rocco and I are just back from another visit to the vet with some MAJOR relief!!! Basically the vet said that they were just both very blocked up and very gassy. She gave them both water enemas, fluid under the skin, and gave me all of the supplies to do both of those things for...

Yeah, we've been doing the belly massage... Just this week we started litter training, with relative success, but I'm still massaging to make sure they're emptying. And since they've been sick they have regressed a bit in the potty department, but now they haven't pooped in a couple days. One...

So, I see a marked improvement in them both today, but I do think they are both blocked up now. Energy levels are soooo much better, but after each time I feed them (and they really do want to try to eat) they act as if they want to throw up, and have dry heaves. Neither of them has pooped in 24...

thanks! How do I request to move my thread? I didn't even look for the right place, I just stumbled upon the forum and was desperate! No signs of any respiratory infection that I can tell. The vet said no fever, which is good. Tonight I am trying something new. I am sort of force feeding them...

Thank you for your reply. They have been using the bathroom regularly, well, today not so much (a tiny bit of poo from each), but they have had so little to eat that I think that's why. I wondered about a blockage at first, but they seemed to be pottying fine... Thank you for the good vibes...

Hi, new here, but I am just looking for some advice. I work on a farm, and about 2 weeks ago we found a littler of kittens in one of our barns. The next day the mom had moved two and abandoned two (we did wait a couple days hoping she would come for them), so I decided to take on the job of...
